on May 10, 1917, to carry on the
(work of the American Red Cross dur¬
ing the war, at their request and by
vote of the Central Committee, ceased

“Immediately the armistice was
signed the War Council Instituted
Studies to determine when the strict¬
ly war work of thq organization would
have been sufficiently matured to en¬
able the direction of affairs to be re
by the permanent staff. Henry
f. Davison, being la Paris when the
armistice was signed, summoned a
conference there of the heads of all
the Bed Cross Commissions in Europe
to canvass the situation, After con¬
sidering all the factors It was con¬
cluded to make the transition on

Aoosunts Audited by War Dapartmsnt
“Detailed reports to Congress and a
complete audit of lts accounts by the
War Department will constitute the
final record of Red Cross activity dur¬
ing the war. Although It has been
the rule to make public all expendi¬
tures when authorized and to give de¬
tailed information relative to all work
■undertaken, the War Council in turn¬
ing over its responsibilities to Dr. far
rand and hla associates desire to give
n brief resume of Red Cross war time
activities to the American people, to
whom the Bed Cross belong, and whose
generous contributions have made pos¬
sible all that hat been accomplished.
“During the past nearly twenty-one
months the American people have
given In cash and supplies to the
American Red Cross more than 1400,
€00,000. No value can be placed upou
the contributions of service which
bave been given without stint and of¬
tentimes at great sacrifice by millions
of our people.
“The effort of the American Bed
Cross In this war has constituted by
tar the largest .voluntary gifts of
money, of hand and heart, ever con
trlbnted purely for the relief of hu
man suffering. Through the Red Cross
the heart and spirit of the whole
American people have been mobilized
to take care of our own, to relieve the
misery Incident to the war, add also
to reveal to the world the supreme
Ideals of our national life.
“Everyone who has had any part In
this war effort of the Bed Cross la en
\ titled to congratulate himself. No
thanks from anyone coutd be equal In
value to tha self satisfaction every
tone should feel for the part taken,
fully 8,000,000 American women have
exerted themselves In Red Cross serv
Ice.
Has Over 17,000,000 Adult Members,.
“When we entered the war the
American Red Cross had about 500,000
members. Today, as the result of the
recent Christmas membership Roll
Call, there are upwards of 17,000,000
full paid members outside of the mem¬
bers of the Junior Red Cross, number¬
ing perhaps 9,000,000 school children
additional.
“The chief* effort of the Red Cross
during the war has been to care for
our men In service and to aid our
army may) and, navy wherever the Red
Cross be called on to assist. As
to this phase of the work Surgeon Gen¬
eral Ireland of the U. S. Army recent¬
ly said: 'The Red Cross |jas been an
enterprise as vast as the war Itself,
from the beginning It has done those
things which the Army Medical Corps
wanted done, but could not do Itself.’
“The Red Cross endeavor In France
has naturally been upon an exception¬
ally large scale where service has
been rendered to tn e American Army
and to the Frehch Army and the
french people as well, the latter par
Ocularly during the trying period
when the Allied World was waiting
for the American Army to arise In
force and power. Hospital emergency
service for our army In France has
greatly diminished, but the Red Cross
la still being called upon for service
upon a large scale tn the great base
hospitals, where thousands of Ameri¬
can sick and wounded are still receiv¬
ing attention. At these hospitals the
Red Cross supplies huts and faciltUes
for the amusement and recreation of
the men as they become convalescent
Our Army of Occupation In Germany
was followed with Medical units pre¬
pared to render the same emergency
aid and supply service which was the
primary business of the Red Cross
during hostilities. The Army Canteen
service along the lines of travel has
actually Increased since the armistice.
“As tor work among the french peo¬
ple, new that hostilities hare ceased,
the French themselves naturally pre¬
fer as (hr as possible to provide for
their own. It has accordingly beea de¬
termined that the gelding principle of
Bed Cross policy In France henceforth
dull be to hare punctilious regard to
lta every reepenslblllty, bet to direct
Its efforts primarily to aselotlng
french relief societies, The liberated
and devastated regions of France have
been divided by the government Into
small districts, each officially assigned
to a designated French relief organi¬
sation.
•The American Bed Cross work In
franco was Initiated by a commission
of eighteen men who landed on French
shores June 18, 1917, Since then
some 9,000 persona have been upon the
rolls In France, of whom 7,000 were
actively engaged when the armistice
was signal An Indication of the pres¬
ent scale of the work will be obtained
.from the fact that the services of 6,000
persons are still required.
"Our American Expeditionary Force
having largely evacuated England, the
activities of the Red Cross Commis¬
sion there are naturally upon a dimin¬
ishing scale period. Active operatlone
are still in progress In Archangel and
Siberia.
'The work in Italy has been almost
entirely on behalf of the civilian pop¬
ulation of that country. In the critical
hours of Italy's struggle the American
people, through their Red Cross, sent
a practical message of sympathy and
relief, for which the government and
people of Italy have never ceased to
express their gratitude.
Supplies and Personnel to Near East
"The occasion for such concentra¬
tion of effort In Italy, England, Bel¬
gium aod even In France having natur¬
ally and normally diminished. It has
been possible to divert supplies and
personnel in large measure to the aid
of those people In the Near East who
have hitherto been Inaccessible to out¬
side assistance, but whose sufferings
have been upon an appalling scale.
The needs of these peoples are so vast
that government alone can meet them,
but the American Red Cross is making
an effort to relieve Immediately ,the
more acute distress.
“An extensive group of American
Porkers has been dispatched to carry
Vitally needed supplies, and to work
this winter In the various Balkan coun¬
tries. In order to co-ordinate their ac¬
tivities, a Balkan commission has been
established, with headquarters at
Rome, Italy, from which point alone
all the Balkan centers can be reached
promptly.
"A commission has Just reached Po¬
land with doctors and nurses, medical
supplies, and food for sick children
and Invalids, An American Red Cross
Commission has also been appointed
to aid In relieving the suffering of Rus¬
sian prisoners still confined in German
prison camps.
"An Important commission Is still
working In Palestine. Through Has the
war special co-operation been
given to the Armenian and Syrian Re¬
lief Commission, which was the only
agency able to carry relief in the in¬
terior of Turkish dominions.
Red Cross Will Continus.
"Red Cross effort Is thus far flung.
It will continue to be so. But the
movement represented by this work
has likewise assumed an Intimate place
In the dally life of our people at home.
The army of worker^ which has been
recruited and trained during the war
must not be demobilised. All our ex¬
perience In the war shows clearly that
there Is an unlimited field for service
of the kind which can be performed
with peculiar effectiveness by the Red
Cross. What its future tadu may be
It Is yet Impossible to fcjRast. We
know that so long as there Is an Amer¬
ican army In the field the Red Cross
will have a special function to perform.
"NothlngfcCduld be of greater Impor¬
tance to the American Red Cross than
the plaijjs $ed Just set societies In motion of by the the world five
great Cross
to develop a program of extended ac¬
tivities in the interest of humanity.
The conception Involves not alone ef¬
forts to relieve human suffering, but
to prevent it; not alone a movement
by the people of an individual nation,
but an attempt to arouse all people to
a sense of their responsibility for the
welfare of their fellow* beings through¬
out the world. It is a program both
ideal and practical. Ideal In that Its
supreme aim Is nothing less than ver¬
itable “Peace on earth good will to
men," and practical in that It seeks to
take means and measures which are
actually available and make them ef¬
fective In meeting without delay the
crisis which is dally recurrent In the
lives of all peoples.
“For accomplishing Its mission In
the years of peace which must lie
ahead of us the Rid Cross will require
the 'ablest possible leadership, and
must enjoy the continued support, sym¬
pathy, and participation in Its work
of the whole American people. It is
particularly fortunate that such a man
as Dr. I.tvlngston Farrand should have
been selected as the permanent head
of the organization. The unstinted
fashion in which all our people gave
of themselves throughout the war Is
the best assurance that our Red Cross
will continue to receive that co-opera¬
tion which will make Its work a source
of pride and Inspiration to every Amer¬
ican.”
Mr. Davison, as chairman of the In¬
ternational Commission of the Ameri¬
can Red Cross, has undertaken to rep¬
resent the American Red Cross In the
preparation of the program for extend¬
ed Red Cron activities, and will spend
the next several months In Europe In
consultation with other Red Cron soci¬
eties for that purpose.
